3 BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. Getting and implementing feedback that keeps your story
2. Importance of surrounding yourself with people you trust
3. Planning for your debut now

EPISODE INFO:
What should you be doing NOW to have a successful debut launch? Jessica Payne helps us understand the ins-and-outs of preparing for a writing career.

Are you wondering what you can be doing right now to launch a successful debut book? Whether you’re agented or not, even if you’re just querying or even still editing or drafting. 

I asked Jessica Payne this exact question. After successfully launching her career with her debut novel MAKE ME DISAPPEAR, then following it up with another great launch of yet another fantastic thriller THE LUCKY ONE. 

Jessica knows a thing or two about what you can do NOW so that your launch goes smoothly even if it’s months or years from now.

Last time on the podcast I talked to Bryan Young who shares how he finds readers for his fiction through his other interests. 

It’s a great pairing for this episode with Jessica Payne. So if you liked this and want to learn more about what you can do to plan for your writing career, definitely check that episode out.
